Box 109 Raleigh,NC 27602 Re: Estimate of PCB Mass in Sediments of Badin Lake Dear Mr. Case: URS Corporation(URS)has completed estimates of PCB mass in sediments in the southwest embayment of Badin Lake near the former Alcoa Badin Works. Sources of sediment PCB data included the following: — Sediment PCB data collected by Woodward-Clyde for Alcoa in 1996-1997 (WCC 1997)1 — Sediment PCB data collected by ESI for Stanly County in 2007(ESI 2008)2 — Sediment PCB data collected by URS for Alcoa Power Generating Inc. in 2008 (URS 2009)3 — Sediment PCB data collected by Entrix for Stanly County in 2009 (Entrix 2009) A summary of PCB data is provided in Table 1. PCB sampling locations and concentrations are presented in Figure 1 for Badin Lake, and in Figure 2 for a more detailed view of the southwest embayment of Badin Lake. Key parameters for calculating the PCB mass within a specific area of interest are sediment surface area,sediment depth,PCB concentration, sediment dry bulk density, and a mass unit conversion(mg to kg): [Area m2)*depth m)*concentration (44)*DryBulkDensity(r8)* llcg J =total mass(kg) ,,, 106 mg WCC 1997.Preliminary Sediment and Water Sampling Results from Alcoa's Badin,North Carolina Works.

Case,Partner Page 2 of 6 March 5, 2010 The sum of the masses for individual areas of interest represents the total PCB mass. Each of the inputs is discussed below: • Area of Interest: The area of interest is the southwest embayment of Badin Lake. PCBs were not detected in areas outside of the embayment except as reported by Entrix(2009) (see also Table 1). The 2009 samples collected outside the southwest embayment(samples BL-4 through BL-7) exhibited approximately the same PCB concentrations,ranging from about 0.0107 mg/kg,to 0.0219 mg/kg. The high end of this range was in the northwest arm of Badin Lake,well upgradient from the Alcoa facility. Based on similarity and low concentration,these are believed to represent anthropogenic background concentrations. Interpretation of the 2009 data may also be confounded by blank interferences;much of 2009 data(reported as PCB congeners)was blank qualified,meaning that"the analyte was found in the associated method blank at a level that is significant with respect to the method result." Thus,PCBs reported outside the southwest embayment as reported in the 2009 dataset may also be biased high due to blank interferences. In either case (i.e.,whether general anthropogenic background or blank interferences), it was not a goal of this effort to quantitate background levels. Samples collected along Transect 2 (samples T2-Sed-0 and T2-Sed-1C,Table 1) from the URS 2008 sediment investigation were reported as nondetect. These samples were located in approximately the middle of the southwest embayment just north of the swimming cove(see Figure 2).Using sediment PCB concentrations as a guide(see Figure 3),a boundary for defining the overall area of interest was selected by extending a line from the eastern shoreline of the embayment just east of BL-1 (0.110 mg/kg),north to the east of BL-3 (0.043 mg/kg), and then extending west and north of sample location T2-Sed-1C(nondetect; shown as sample t2c on Figures 2 and 3),intersecting the west shoreline near sample locations SA-3 and NEP3 (both nondetect). This boundary was used to approximate the location at which sediment PCBs were nondetect,or at background levels. The area to the south and west of this boundary defined the area of interest within the southwest embayment. Subareas within the embayment were developed based on PCB concentration contours (Figure 3). Areas between contours represent sediments with similar PCB concentrations. The contours,and sizes of the areas within the contours were generated using Geographic Information Systems(GIS)software(see discussion regarding PCB concentrations). • Sediment Depth: There is limited quantitative information regarding depths of sediments within the southwest embayment(or in other parts of Badin Lake). However, several pieces of qualitative information provide insight into sediment depth.In the report Preliminary Sediment and Water Sampling Results from Alcoa's Badin North Carolina Works(WCC 1977),the following is noted relative to sediment sampling within Badin Lake: "At several of the predetermined[sediment sampling]locations.... sediment was not found. Indeed, much of the bottom appeared to be exposed rock with softer, depositional substrates in relatively localized areas (especially in the swimming cove per se). " Charles D. Case,Partner Page 3 of 6 March 5,2010 WCC(2007) concluded that"soft depositional sediment(mud) is heterogeneously distributed in the swimming cove and immediate vicinity.... deposits are relatively localized in three areas." These were"the northern part of the swimming cove; the southern part of the swimming cove; and the Outfall 011/012 area." The report also noted that"the basically horizontal circulation observed in the swimming cove area....probably contributes to the scarcity of depositional sediments and their tendency not to accumulate in the very shallow, marginal areas". The report also indicated that bathymetric observations revealed relatively steep side slopes along the margins which tended to minimize accumulations of depositional sediments along the shore. In a sediment investigation performed for Stanly County in 2007(ESI 2008),the following is indicated: "Sediments were not deep and estimated to be less than two feet in depth." Thus,there appear to be localized depositional areas within the swimming cove and near Outfalls 011/012,there are also many areas void of sediments (exposed rock), and in general, sediments are less than 2 ft deep. Hydrodynamics and bath}nnetry(steep slopes)in the southwest embayment minimize accumulations of sediments. For purposes of this evaluation,sediment depths were assumed to average about 0.5 ft. • Bulk Density: Bulk density was estimated from the measured moisture content of existing sediment data(Table 2)assuming a particle density of 2600 kg/m3 and water density of 1000 kg/m3. The relationship between wet bulk density and moisture content is: wet =Pspw(1+M) k PsM I Pw where ps is the sediment particle density, pw is the water density and M is the moisture content. The corresponding dry bulk density is: dry __ Ps Pw Pbutk PSM +PM, These formulas were applied to the measured moisture content values for the 2007 (ESI 2008)and 2008 (URS 2009)data sets to estimate bulk densities. Results are shown in Table 2. The median,average,maximum and minimum values for all samples are summarized below for both wet and dry bulk density estimates. Charles D. Case, Partner Page 4 of 6 March 5,2010 Summary of Bulk Density Estimates Wet Bulk Density Dry Bulk Density Statistic (kg/m3) (kg/m3) Median 1598 960 Average 1601 966 Maximum 1758 1217 Minimum 1545 876 PCB concentrations were expressed as mg/kg dry weight; therefore, dry bulk density was used in estimating PCB mass. The average value of 966 kg/m3 was selected as a representative dry bulk density value. • PCB Concentrations—As noted previously, sediment PCB data collected from Badin Lake are compiled and presented in Table 1. Average PCB concentrations were estimated using interpolation techniques using GIS software. Sediment samples from nearly all of the historical sediment PCB investigations were collected from the surface layer(i.e.,up to six inches). However, a limited number of subsurface samples(NEP3,NEP5,NEP10,NEP17), referred to as"bottom"samples,were also analyzed for PCBs as reported in WCC(2007). These were defined as greater than 6 inches and were collected with a hand push corer(so penetration would still be relatively shallow). For these four sample locations,PCB concentrations in the surface and bottom samples were averaged for contouring purposes. The average PCB concentrations for the southern area of Badin Lake were contoured using the Spatial Analyst Extension of ESRI's ArcGIS 9.3.1. Three interpolation methods are available for purposes of developing spatial relationships using Spatial Analyst: Spline, Inverse Distance Weighted(IDW) and Kriging. Spline and IDW are considered deterministic interpolation methods versus Kriging which is a geostatistical analysis method. Spline was chosen for this analysis because the distribution of data in the target study area was sufficient to support generation of a smooth surface.Use of the Spline method is appropriate because there appears to be a correlation between distance from presumed sources (i.e., outfalls)and PCB concentration. In addition,because the Spline method assumes all points are related,the analysis results in more conservative estimates of PCB concentrations as compared with the IDW approach. During the Spline process, three additional parameters may be specified to control the output surface; spline type,weight and the number of points. The spline type specifies which of the derivatives will be weighted more heavily during surface interpolation. Of the two spline types,regularized and tension, the tension option was selected. The tension option weights the first derivative calculation criterion more heavily,thereby resulting in a reasonable approximation of the concentrations in areas where no data exist. The weight controls the relative smoothness of the surface and the third parameter,number of points,specifies the number of samples used to calculate a given cell value in the interpolated surface. The following options were used in this analysis: weight=25 and number of points= 12. Additional"boundary"conditions in the form of zero value data points were also added to the data set to control interpolation of the surface. These points were added: Charles D. Case,Partner Page 5 of 6 March 5,2010 • at the shoreline; • to the estimated anthropogenic background boundary, specifically along the eastern boundary of the area of interest(see discussion above and Figure 3); and, • to distinguish between source areas (i.e.,to separate Outfalls 011/012 and Outfall 002 as specific source areas). All contours and surfaces shown on the figures are presented as generated by the spatial analysis extension with one exception:the 0.10 mg/kg contour encompassing BL-1. This point was originally contoured as a single isolated location. However,the direction of transport is likely from south to north(i.e., in the direction of bathymetric relief[shallow to deep] and water flow toward the dam);therefore,PCBs measured at this location are more likely related to the southernmost outfall(Outfall 002). Associating this data point to the southern data cluster expands the southern 0.10 mg/kg contour and results in a more conservative estimate of PCB mass. PCB concentration contours developed using the approach described above are shown in Figure 3 for the southwest embayment. A lake-wide view of the contours is presented in Figure 4. With the input parameters discussed above(area, sediment depth,bulk density, and PCB concentration),PCB mass in each subarea(i.e., each subarea being the cumulative area between sediment PCB contours) of the southwest embayment was calculated as shown in Table 3. Note that contour areas are shown in Table 3 in 0.25 mg/kg increments. Contours on Figure 3 are shown in roughly 0.5 to 1 mg/kg increments for ease in visualization. The sum of the PCBs in each subarea represents an estimate of the total PCB mass in the embayment. At an average sediment depth of 0.5 ft,total PCB mass was calculated as 7.69 kg. As with all estimates, there are uncertainties inherent in the assumptions applied. For example, quantitative information regarding actual sediment depths is unavailable, although qualitative data were available from which to make reasonable estimates. An average sediment depth of 0.5 ft was assumed;the actual sediment depth may be higher or lower,and alternate depths would result in a higher or lower estimate of total PCB mass. Concentration contours are also a function of the available data and mathematical approaches used to interpolate between sample locations. On balance, the assumptions applied in this evaluation are believed to be reasonable, and the results provide a reasonably representative estimate of the mass of PCBs in sediments of the southwest embayment of Badin Lake.
